Quality Aggregates

Claiming “Quality” is one thing, delivering on it is another.

Black Rock’s mine site has top notch aggregates. Independent lab testing reports illustrate low absorption and consistent aggregate index. Our 100% fractured faces, along with our low ASR’s make our aggregate ideal for redi-mix concrete and asphalt. With over 90 million tons of reserves our consistency and quality will be long lasting.

We offer a full range of aggregates for civil, commercial, residential, and industrial construction sectors in Albuquerque and surrounding areas. Black Rock can provide crushed rock, base course, sand, gravel and asphalt mixes to contractors around the city and Middle Rio Grande area. We pride ourselves on offering quality aggregate materials at a competitive price to general contractors, paving contractors, landscapers, and independent contractors in Central New Mexico. Our mining site is located just east of Los Lunas, approximately 37 miles from the Big-I (I-25/I-40) interchange. From your backyard to your large business or industrial sized project, we’ve got you covered.
